wait for PS4 or buy new PS3 for 19,99?

1080p surely for PS4?

Yep. And higher mob density higher frame rate etc.

D3 on the PS3 is pretty good but the PS4 version will blow it away.

I have it on PS3 and preordered on PS4.

After playing it on the PC and then the PS3 I couldn't handle the blurriness on the console. The footage I've seen of next gen looks very smart so I'd go with PS4 definitely.

That's why I gave it a miss. Only me and 1 mate have gaming PC's and we enjoyed it on PC but told the others to wait for the PS4 version and agreed that we would pick it up again for 4 player action.

Haven't seen much of the PS4 version - think that's what I'll do now while I wait to be picked up.
My mate has drafted me in tonight to have beers and guide him in Dark Souls 2...didn't realise it was going to be this sunny though.. :rolleyes:

hopefully have TLOU:R finished by the time this arrives for my Xbox.

I played through on normal on ps3 and really enjoyed it!

Thinking of getting on ps4 to restart and go through all the difficulties! People seem to say its uber addictive! I need that at the mo

Only difference between last gen and next is the resolution apparently.

Plus constant patch support for Xbox one and ps4, last gen isn't supported.

Can't wait!

Best place to pre order from for release day delivery?

Am I right in thinking this can be played in Co-Op on the same screen?

Seems a bit early to be doing this as both versions arent running at the same res until a day 1 patch bumps xb1 to 1080p but as it stands it looks to be performing better

But to me that could be due to the 900p vs the 1080p thing, come the day one patch tables could flip or even out i imagine

Either way both versions sound great

Yup, perfect sit down hack-a-thon with friends and shouting at them for running the wrong way.

Thanks. The Mrs. is interested in it so looking for some decent co-op games on the PS4 that aren't Lego games! This'll do nicely!

Any decent pre-oder prices for this anywhere, every thing seems to be £44.

deltalinx · 13 Aug 2014 at 18:13

I don't mind paying £44 for it, considering the amount of hours you will put into it, I put in over 200 hours on the PC version, and I haven't played RoS yet, can't wait till tuesday, nice D3 marathon for me, hopefully with some of you lot as well co-op

Crusader is the first one to level up for me, fresh character.

ic1male · 13 Aug 2014 at 18:38

Do you get new characters in the expansion then?

deltalinx · 13 Aug 2014 at 18:48

Yes the Crusader.

Was a missed bug, now fixed - analysis has an update - probably have a new one looking at the day one patch and no doubt another missed bug

"After we we read your article we went back through, looked at the code, and determined that we made mistake on, essentially, updates. So we're now at full 60 frames. We're now posting an update that will go up before the day one patch, and will be part of the day one patch," Hight continues.

Just posted this to HUKD but hasn't been approved yet £40.

Bit of a convoluted one but the cheapest I've seen since Tesco put their prices up.

First create a new account (if you already have one).

Then add two of the following (or anything totalling £2) to your basket along with a copy of Diablo.

Then use the following code on checkout for £10 off £50 spend.

Well, whilst the missus and I continue the debate on whether to get an XB One or not, I've gone and ordered the 360 version, at least that's something we both agree!

Bring on next week!
